(The above is the exact title of the first volume; the titles of the other four vary 

 from the above in minor respects.) 



Only Vols. IV and V, 1838 and 1839, contain references to California, and these are nearly 

 all upon the authority of Nuttall or Townsend; for Audubon never himself traveled as far 

 west as California. There are five species ascribed to California in Vol. IV, the only im- 

 portant one of which is Corviis Nuttalli {—Pica nuttalli) newly described (p. 4.50, pi. 362 of 

 the elephant folio) from the vicinity of Santa Barbara where taken by Nuttall. Vol. V 

 contains records of 19 species from California. Of these, Icterus tricolor {-Agelaius tri- 

 color) is newly described (p. 1, pi. 388 of the elephant folio) from Santa Barbara where 

 secured by Nuttall; Sylvia Delafieldii (probably an individual variant of Geothlypis trichas 

 arizela) is described (p. .>()7) as new from "California"; ^vnS. Fringilla IMortonii, a South 

 American sparrow, is described (p. 312) as new, and alleged to have been procured in 

 "Upper California" by Townsend. The specimen of Sylvia niontana, said (p. 295, pi. 434 

 of the elephant folio) to have "come from California", seems to have been an immature 

 example of Dendroica townscndi.

In a table of distribution included in the Introduction, several species are said to 

 occur in "California" in winter. This Table is stated to have been compiled from the 

 work of "the Prince of IMi:signano, Wilson, Audubon, and some others."
